2004 Suzuki Forenza S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
The car handles great for a car of its type. Its looks are great especially in black. The interior is way better than the Aerio's lint trap. The lighting resembles that of Lexus and Mercedes. I did have a few problems such as the ssps going out shortly after I bought it, and had it repaired three times. The headlights also went out completely. I have also put four headlights in the car in the last year. The center console / armrest really bugs the heck out of me though. I eventually broke the plastic latch, it has been bent both ways from getting in and out of the car and putting weight on it (imagine that, putting weight on an armrest). The stereo is OK and the headlights dim when you push the brakes.

Overall quality and ride is good. I like the idea of it being a heavier car in its class, a little over 2700 lbs. I would only say this, if Suzuki put the muscle it puts into its motorcycles into its cars, WOW! I realize that Daewoo makes most of their autos but this company has such great potential in being more than it is. They say most of Suzuki's cars are quirky and I agree but this is why I like it. I am aware of some of Forena's mechanical problems, they are small and few compared to its competitors. Suzuki still has one of the best warranties in the Industry! Keep on digging in!

Obviously a consumer may get turned off by the fact that Suzuki is not really known for sedan cars, but this car is wonderful. The fuel economy isn't too bad, and the amount of features that are packed in the car make it worthwhile. I can not find very much wrong with something for such a good price.

I purchased my Suzuki Forenza sort of blind sided. I have previously owned Suzuki dirt bikes, yet have not had any exprience with their automobiles. This car is fun to drive and handles like a much more expensive automobile. The speed sensitive steering is a must. Also, the first automatic transmission I have thoroughly enjoyed using. Both in regular mode and in the "hold" mode. The stereo in this vehicle is "the bomb". One reason I purchased this car, is that I drove this car. 28 mpg is not bad either. I have recommended this vehicle to everyone I know. Like the title of my review states: "I LOVE THIS CAR!!"

After careful comparison shopping to the point of driving every car salesman in town crazy, I chose the Forenza LX . The fit & finish are better than the Nissan Sentra & the Honda Civic in this class. The refinement of the ride and smoothness of the engine, along with lower levels of wind & road noise, made the choice a no-brainer. I found the Sentra too cramped, the Civic was too sparse & noisey for the $$$. Standard 4wheel discs & steering wheel mounted audio controls are a big plus. Interior design & plastics are first rate. The Corolla was lighter on features for the price. Suzuki is well equipped to gain loyal repeat customers along the way.

Features abound on this car. Power everything, consoles, lights, features you didn't know you were getting. Very nice car with an unbelievable price. Engine is silky smooth and extremely quiet at idle. Air conditioning doesn't "bog" the car down like other 4- bangers I've owned. Very good brakes and excellent hydraulic clutch.
a lot of car for a little money

Shockingly, this is a lot of car for $13,500. At first I was looking at the Verona, but I saw the Forenza in a brouchure. I loved its look better than its older brother and kept asking when it would be available. It just so happens that the first shipload came in the next week. So instead of buying the Verona, I saved a couple thousand and bought what I liked better. Now I'm eagerly waiting for aftermarket products to personalize my Forenza.

We bought a new Foreza in Dec. of 03 it was taken back for minor issues at 1000 miles. So we thought. It was taken back at 1500, 2800, 3000, 3450 and finally 3500 miles. All for excessive smoke out of the tailpipe. The car has been in the shop since June 1st of 04 with the engine taken apart. We where told there was a problem with the cylinders or pistons. They where not sure and Suzuki inc. didn't know what to do about it. Well over 2 months later it is still in the shop with the engine torn apart. I have filled on the lemon law. I could not get suzuki to call me or give me an answer on when it may be fixed. It seems that it should not take 2 months to repl

I brought this car without even test driving it.I really wanted a Toyato Camry but the Forenza was a better buy for the money and monthly payments. I just want know whats the best gasoline. Book says 87 or 89. I use 93 in my 1989 Corsica.From day one thats what I used. Dealership put 87 in my Forenza. I'm in question about this.

I had a Volkswagen bug and had just had a baby so I was on a hunt for something a little bigger. I wanted a jetta or a smaller suv. The forenza really caught my eye because it looked similar to the jetta. We put my daughters car seat in the back of a couple of small suv's like a rav-4 and when I sat in the passenger seat my knees touched the dash and I am only 5'2. When we put her carseat in the forenza we were amazed at how much leg room I had. My husband is 6'1 and he also had a lot of leg room when sitting in the passenger seat. After checking out the inside, cheap insurance, great ratings and the price - we were sold!

I drove a 1990 Suzuki Swift for 14 years and just bought a new Forenza. It is an amazing car. Beautiful design. Sits higher than most cars. I really like the S model since without the sunroof on the higher line models you get many inches of additional headroom. Amazingly quiet; no wind noise at all. I can't imagine anyone buying a Civic, etc over this car.
Alot for your money.

I recently purchased a Suzuki Froenza after looking at other vehicles. I was impressed with all the standard options and the warranty. This vehicle has road side assistance and comes with a rental if it is to be in service for more than 24hrs. This is a plus when you need a vehilce to get around everyday. The standard options are so great to list i would run out of room.
Wow! What a GREAT CAR!!

Just purchased my new Forenza and so far I love it! Lots of fun to drive and lots of great features. I traded in a 99 Acura 3.0 CL. I can honestly say I like the Forenza as much or better. Took it on a 400 mile trip 2 days after I bought it. Very comfortable and lots of fun. I almost hate to pull into the driveway and get out of it.

My first impression: I didn't like it. Then I saw it in person and drove it. Second impression: I bought it 2 days later. It's an incredible little car. It looks so much nicer than the others in this segment, at least in my opinion. Coming out of a Pontiac Sunfire Convertible, I'm amazed at this cars excellent feel.

We just purchased our '04 Forenza a couple of days ago. It is a gret car, with great options. I am a little concerned about it being the first model year, but all reviews looked promising. For the money you can't beat this car. It has fabulous standard options and provides a solid ride. I would recommend it to anyone. The stereo, warranty, and styling also make it hard to resist. When compared to some other cars in its class, I don't see how anyone could pass it up!

My 2004 Suzuki Forenza in fantasy black looks great, even when it is dirty. It handles well and accelerates with ease. It has lots of room and the seat front tilts down to take the preasure off the upper legs. This is a new design for 2004, so look forward to the introduction of aftermarket parts to upgrade my car. It does need mud flaps. Its only down side is the road noise, but this may be cured with a tire upgrade.

I am still looking around, but from the three cars that I have test driven, Matrix, Elantra, and Forenza, the Forenza made it out ahead. I can't speak much for the fuel economy or reliability on this model personally, but I can say this: Forenza is roomy, handles well, great interiors, very nice exteriors, and a great price. Listen, the toyotas are nice, but their sales volume is not giving them much to work hard or be nice with me. The elantra may be a little cheaper but the Forenza handles well. I would definitely recommend buying this while it is costing less.

I was at a car show and was not really looking to buy. After seeing many cars and not being to impressed, I saw the Forenza. I ended up buying the car that night. The overall design of the car was very appealing to the eye. All the standard features was a big plus. All the other cars were very basic and kinda plain inside. The price was right and also good gas mileage. Having great fun driving. My first new car in 20 years.

Overall, a great car for the $$. No problems so far. I wish the vehicle came in V6, it needs a little more pep. The radio is great w/ controls on steering wheel. Leather interior is very comfortable. It could also be a little better on gas. Great buy for the money.

I've had my Forenza for over 40,000 miles and I've taken it to about 20 hours of open track events plus autocrosses and she just keeps holding up! Have only had one problem which the dealer fixed. I have no complaints, I love this car!

Thus far the forenza seems to be a great buy.. Been driving it for a little less then a month now and have no problems what so ever. I am impressed with the warranty on it and for about a 1000 more you can increase all warranties to match the 7 yr/100000 mile powertrain warranty (including the roadside assistance.)
Great ride for the money, any money

This is my first ever brand new car, and could not be happier with my choice. It has great looks, drives great, very quiet and has many extra bells and whistles usually found only on much more expensive cars. If you need a new car, at a good price, get this one.

I wanted to buy a vehicle that has a lot of style/ comfort and reliabilty and a good warranty so I chose the Forenza. I purchased this car last Saturday and am happy with all but one aspect of the car...it pulls to the right regardless if I'm accelerating or driving at a normal speed. I have made 3 trips to the dealer since buying this vehicle and have been told that this may be NORMAL for this car by the service dept. There is no way it is normal to drive off the road! I have also been told that the hard pull to the right when I accelerate is due to the torque steer/pull. That it is normal for it to due this.

We just bought our Forenza this past Saturday, and we are very impressed. Suzuki cars are not well known in America, yet, but they rank up with Hondas and Toyotas in Pakistan. We love this car, and the way it is made. We have a 2000 infiniti G20T, and for an entry level model, the forenza is impressive. Get em before the price goes up, as people will soon realize how good of a car this truly is. Good Luck

I bought this car for the price and have been very pleased with the overall experience. Suspention is soft on the road but tight in corners, engine with the five speed is peppy(compared to other small sedan base engines Toyota, Honda, Focus), and the build quality is great. The Forenza is very comparable in size to my wifes Ford Contour and the overall ride is much better than the Ford Focus. Suzuki did a great job with this car. This vehicle will get over 30000 miles a year put on it so it will get a good work out.
